Main Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1–2 scoops vanilla protein powder (e.g., Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ¼ cup water or preferred milk (optional, for thinning the pudding)

Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add the vanilla Greek yogurt, protein powder, instant pudding mix, vanilla extract, and water or your preferred milk to a mixing bowl.
- Mix until smooth: Stir or whisk the mixture thoroughly until the pudding is smooth and lump-free.
- Add toppings and serve: When ready to enjoy, top the pudding with whipped cream, thawed frozen berries (microwave frozen mixed berries for about 45 seconds to release juices), and chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips.
